About the Global Schools Network
The N.C. State Board of Education, the N.C. Department of Public Instruction, the N.C. Department of Commerce and the N.C. Business Committee for Education have partnered to develop the N.C. Global Schools Network (GSN), an alliance of schools, school districts, organizations and businesses committed to creating collaborative approaches to international education.
Coordinated by VIF International Education, these and a growing list of private partners dedicated to helping schools improve their student outcomes through international learning are leading the way. Learn more about our private partners >>
